Surgical Mapp | HealthTech

DevMode Layer — Frontend Decoupling

−70% cycle time
Next.jsNestJSClean ArchitectureAWS S3
Challenge

The frontend was tightly coupled to the backend, blocking parallel development and increasing feature delivery time in critical sprints.

Technical Action

Architected and implemented an isolated development layer (DevMode) that decouples business logic from the backend, enabling independent frontend iteration with parameterized mocks and dynamic storage routing (local disk ↔ AWS S3).

Result

70% reduction in feature delivery time, measured by sprint cycle time, with significantly optimized team workflows.

Surgical Mapp | Distributed Infrastructure

PM2 → Kubernetes Migration

+80% availability
KubernetesDockerMicroservicesMonorepo
Challenge

Tightly integrated HTTP microservices shared a unified database and ran on PM2, with cross-system communication bottlenecks and low availability.

Technical Action

Planned and executed technical migration to Docker containers orchestrated via Kubernetes, with Monorepo governance and decoupled microservices to eliminate processing waste.

Result

80% improvement in system availability and resolution of inter-service communication bottlenecks.

Freelancer | Digital Transformation

BFF for Legacy Modernization

+80% modernization speed
BFFDockerReactNode.js
Challenge

Modern frontends needed to integrate with legacy core systems without rewriting the entire existing infrastructure.

Technical Action

Architected containerized Backend-for-Frontend microservices with Docker, establishing a secure translation layer between modern UI and legacy APIs.

Result

80% acceleration in the modernization process compared to legacy deployment cycles, with 92% regression reduction via TDD.
